Pokémon: Chosen Ranger

Chapter 296 Investigation and Results The Miracle of the Crown Temple (2-in-1)

"Well, what's the matter, young man? Are you surprised by the price of the sculpture?" The village chief looked at the place where the sculpture had been placed and smiled.

"Me too, old man. This is the last gift left to us by the King of Plenty. Hey, what did I say? After all, the King of Plenty is just a myth."

Xia Ye didn't speak. He wanted to refute that the King of Harvest was real.

However, the clues to the resurrection of the King of Plenty have now been completely interrupted, and there is no way to prove it to the village chief.

"By the way, although the sculpture is gone, old man, there are many books recording the legend of the King of Plenty. I can lend them to you if you are interested."

The village chief showed a kind expression. The young man in front of him should be very interested in the legend of the Lord of Plenty, otherwise how would he know about something that existed ten years ago.

When facing people who have the same interests as the old man and me, I naturally have to provide some help as much as I can.

Today's young people have no interest in ancient books at all. They will gather dust if left alone. It is better to let them play their original role.

"Of course I'm interested, so please."

Xia Ye nodded, maybe there are some clues about the Howard family that can be found in the books recording legends.

The plan to awaken King Lei Guan is hopeless, but there is still one goal that has not been completed, and that is to find the missing Dr. Morn.

Since a stronghold is definitely needed, Freezing Village is undoubtedly the best choice. Then he asked:

"By the way, village chief, I want to live in Dongning Village for a while. Is there any room available now?"

"Of course, Hoho, I'll take you there right now," the village chief's attitude became very attentive, "How many days will you stay? Will you pay in cash or online? Even though our village is remote, the Internet and the like are very convenient. It’s perfect~”

"Ahem, pay online. The village chief has something I want to ask you again." Xia Ye took out her mobile phone and paid for the accommodation.

"Huh?" The village chief raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter? Is it still about the King of Plenty?"

"No, actually I want to ask, apart from Dong Ning Village, are there any other people who have settled in this snowfield?"

"Well, Dong Ning Village is the largest village. Others are scattered and settled in various parts of the snowfield. Sometimes they come to the village to exchange for supplies."

"Well, have you seen a blond man with blue eyes? He is relatively tall and has a beard." Xia Ye asked.

If Dr. Moen really came to the Crown Snowfield, it would be very difficult to live alone. The village chief said that people from outside the village would come to Freezing Village to exchange supplies, and maybe he was among them.

Hearing Xia Ye's question, the village chief showed a thoughtful expression. He pushed up his glasses and spoke after a long time: "I'm really impressed by what you said. Does he have a daughter?"

"She is a very cute blond girl, but she always acts very anxious after exchanging supplies, and pulls her father to prevent her from entering the village. What is the reason?"

The reason is very clear to Xia Ye. The true identity of the daughter mentioned by the village chief is a strange-colored Xuwuide, the ultimate alien beast from other worlds.

The reason why Dr. Mohn is not allowed to enter the village is to prevent him from seeing his face through windows and mirrors and recalling his lost memories.

According to the plot of the animation, Dr. Morne accidentally fell into the Ultimate Cave due to an accident, and it was this virtual world that saved him. The moment it came into contact with Morne, it read Morne's memories of his family.

That happy memory made Xuwuide, who had never experienced emotions, extremely envious. It took Morn away from his original living space through the Ultimate Cave and came to the Crown Snowfield far away in Galar.

Dr. Moen's memory was lost due to the accident, and Xuwuide's toxins can affect the nerves, which made him mistakenly believe that Xuwuide was his daughter.

I'm afraid the village chief thought it looked like a girl and was also affected by the poison.

Excessive intake of this toxin can affect the way you think, and Lusamine is the best example of this.

If it really did this, there would be no possibility for Morn to recover his memory after such a long time, but Xuwuide did not do this.

Xu Wuide probably really regarded Dr. Moen as his father and his own family, so how could he hurt him.

It just put away all the objects that allowed Moen to see his appearance, and used this method to maintain his false happiness.

In this case, Xia Ye believes that it is necessary to tell Dr. Morn the truth. His family is suffering from the pain of losing his father, and even Alola's safety will be affected.

And this is not a cruel thing to Xuwuide. According to the ending of the animation, Moen accepted Xuwuide as his family.

This Xuwuide is not as dangerous as others of its kind, and has a human way of thinking.

As long as he explains to his family that Xu Wuide saved him, they will probably make the same decision as Moen.

"Well, that's really strange, but the daughter of the person I'm looking for is far away in Alola, so she's probably not the same person."

Xia Ye took the initiative to interrupt the conversation and did not ask the village chief where they lived. With the vigilance of the Xuwuid, asking was probably in vain.

Besides, he has the invincible Brimwen. Now that he has obtained accurate information, finding someone could not be easier.

"Right, speaking of Alola, it's a great place."

The village chief suddenly became interested and kept talking non-stop on the way to take Xia Ye to the B\u0026B. If you didn't know his identity, you would definitely think that the village chief was an authentic Alola person.

In the B\u0026B, the fireplace was burning with warm flames and making crackling sounds. Xia Ye was sitting on the sofa nearby, reading the books sent by the village chief.

The yellowed paper showed how old the book was, and the legends recorded in the book were all things Xia Ye had known before, and the name of the Howard family was not mentioned in it.

"Is my guess wrong?"

Xia Ye sighed and closed the book, and suddenly noticed that the text written on the cover of the book originally placed under the book in his hand was a bit unfamiliar.

He slowly read out the title of the book: "The Lord of Plenty and His Followers?

It's a story I haven't heard of before. Read it and take a look. Well, the King of Plenty is a kind king who pities the believers who voluntarily follow him to the snowy fields, so he gives his power to those who recognize it.

To be recognized by the Lord of Plenty, one needs to pass a rigorous test.

Climb giant trees, cross frozen seas, go deep into caves, and ascend to the temple alone, where the king will wait for the arrival of the warrior and give him the flower of glory.

Those who get the flower of glory can use the power of the king to make the fields fertile and the crops to be harvested, so that people do not have to endure the cruel environment of the snowfield.

It is said that the original warrior was named Howard! "

Xia Ye didn't expect to see Howard's name here. Sure enough, the Howard family has a close relationship with King Lei Guan. They were the believers who once followed King Lei Guan!

However, the story ends here, and no more information about the Howard family can be learned.

Xia Ye put down the book and stood up. He stretched, looked out the window at the dim sky, and picked up the cotton clothes placed on the sofa.

"It's better than not knowing anything. Well, it's time to meet the Snowstorm Horse. The agreement has not been fulfilled. I'm afraid it will be very disappointed when it finds out."

Xia Ye sighed lightly, he understood how much Snowstorm Horse was looking forward to this day.

Under the bright moonlight, Snowstorm Horse stood quietly under the tree. Before this, it had fantasized about meeting the king again countless times.

At this time, it suddenly smelled a familiar smell. It was Xia Ye who was back! Is the king also with him?

Snowstorm Horse looked expectantly into the distance, and saw Xia Ye walking alone on the snow, without seeing the figure of King Lei Guan. It was strange, wasn't the king awakened?

Its tail, which was shaking violently, drooped, and a bad premonition sprouted in its heart.

"Sorry, Snowstorm Horse."

Xia Ye walked up to it and apologized in a low voice. Then, he told the Snowstorm Horse how to wake up King Lei Guan and a series of things that happened in Dongning Village.

After hearing this, Snowstorm Horse looked at the white snow, and scratched the snow with its heavy hooves, Faith. Unexpectedly, the disappearance of the king was actually due to the weakening of Faith.

It was silent for a long time, during which it did not show any dissatisfaction with Xia Ye. Xia Ye's response solved his doubts for many years.

Yes, I have actually felt the changes in the king's power. As the faith of the entire country, it can resist disasters coming from outside the planet.

But when the only remaining followers of the king were a small village in the snowfield, and even the villagers no longer chose to worship the king, the king almost lost all his power.

The gloomy guy and I were anxious to find a solution, but when we returned to the temple, we discovered that the king had disappeared. It turned out to be because of the disappearance of the King of Faith.

The snowstorm horses suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the king would not abandon them without reason. We were not abandoned.

Xia Ye also said that as long as there is faith, the king will be immortal, not to mention that the king may have recovered ten years ago, although it is a bit sad that it did not come to us.

But I'm not like that gloomy guy. I'm quite open-minded. Even if we don't meet again, it doesn't matter. As long as I know that Wang is fine, I'm happier than anything else. Well, I'm happier than eating up a whole warehouse of radishes!

Seeing the smile on the Snowstorm Horse's face, Xia Ye was a little surprised. He had expected the Snowstorm Horse to be very disappointed in the past, but unexpectedly he had a relaxed expression instead.

Vaguely, Xia Ye seemed to be able to understand the Snowstorm Horse's thoughts. Perhaps what really reassured it was the news that King Lei Guan was fine. For soul friends like them, it didn't matter even if they were thousands of miles apart.

"Snow hiss!"

The snowstorm horse screamed, and its eyes hidden under the ice seemed to say goodbye to Xia Ye. It decided to return to the temple deep in the snow mountain, otherwise the king would not be able to find him.

"Well, that's right. You want to return to the temple where you have been living. In that case, do you mind if I come with you?"

Xia Ye knew that the Crown Temple deep in the snowy mountains was the residence where King Lei Guan once lived. Since the Dragon Emperor once came to Dong Ning Village, maybe he would leave some clues there.

Xue Baima nodded and did not refuse. He had received many favors from Xia Ye, and there were many treasures he had collected hidden in the Crown Temple, just as a thank you gift.

Wang Ke has always taught me to repay kindness, but I am different from those treacherous humans.

"Thank you, but it's already night now. Let's set off again tomorrow morning. And since you're planning to leave, Snowstorm Horse, why don't you let me make you a farewell meal, even if it's just iced radish?"

Snowstorm Horse was stunned, unable to stop the smile at the corner of his mouth, he raised his hoof and waved it in the air. Why are you being so polite? Ice radish is enough~

However, Wang, if possible, I really want to introduce Xia Ye to you. I can be sure that you will definitely have a very interesting chat, because I can see your shadow in him!

The Crown Temple is a majestic building located at the top of a snow-capped mountain. A majestic towering tree grows directly behind the temple.

Countless residents living on the snowfield have witnessed the existence of this giant tree since they were born. No one knows how many years it has gone through.

There are no leaves on the branches of the giant tree, which is covered with snow all year round. The people in the snowfield regard it as a miracle that it is dead but still standing.

As long as you walk on the snowfield and raise your head, you can see the majestic branches of the giant tree. As long as you follow its direction, you can find the direction home.

This giant tree without a name has long become a symbol of the snowfield. The person who created this miraculous existence may be the legendary King of Fertility.

Through the early morning sunlight, the ancient wall surrounding the giant tree appeared in Xia Ye's field of vision. Even the traces of time cannot erase its past glory.

In such a cold and remote place, to allow his subjects to build such a magnificent palace, apart from the tyrant, I am afraid that only the King of Abundance, who makes people voluntarily surrender, can do it.

"What a magnificent building."

Xia Ye raised his head and sighed, and the snowstorm horse on the side showed a proud expression. Of course, this is the king's temple, even though the king is not here.

"Snow hiss!"

The snowstorm horse took a few steps forward and then turned its head to signal Xia Ye to follow quickly. Its treasure was hidden in the stable.

Xia Ye did not refuse and followed into the temple.

The Temple of the Crown has no roof, so there is snow everywhere.

The internal structure is very simple. There is a stone road leading directly to the giant tree. Dead trees are distributed on both sides of the road. After passing the stone stairs, two stables built of bricks and stones are located on the left and right of the altar.

The floor tiles originally depicting the symbolic pattern of King Lei Guan became dilapidated due to the disappearance of time and faith.

The Snowstorm horse ran into the stable on the right and used its hooves to push aside the straw on the ground. It looked like it was looking for something.

Xia Ye glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on the towering tree. He walked forward slowly and stretched out his hand to touch the rough trunk. Suddenly, his palm unconsciously began to glow with emerald green light.

"What!"

Just when Xia Ye was surprised, something even more shocking happened. The entire giant tree actually emitted a dazzling blue light.

Xia Ye quickly took a few steps back. The dead giant tree began to sprout new shoots and regained its vitality. New green quickly spread across the entire tree crown.

Immediately afterwards, countless azure buds that looked like radiant flowers rushed to bloom, and then withered, and the originally green leaves turned into silver light and scattered on the snowy field like falling snow.

The remaining flower produced a pure white fruit, which fell impartially in front of the summer leaves. The miracle just caused disappeared without a trace like a dream.

"This is."

Xia Ye, whose mind was filled with doubts, picked up the fruit on the ground and felt the cold touch, and the voice of the forest ranger assistant rang out.

[The Crown Snow Fruit is a legendary fruit. It was planted and blessed by the King of Plenty himself and was born from the power of the King Tree for thousands of years. It is said that as long as you eat it, you can become a respected wise king. 】

[Crown Snow Fruit, effect: Gives the eater the leadership qualities. If the eater already possesses the leadership qualities, he will receive the gift of the snowfield. 】

[Gift of the Snowfield: Improve the power of ice-based moves, and you can break through racial restrictions and master ice-based moves. 】

"It's actually a legendary fruit"

Xia Ye's eyes widened. He immediately thought of the Bang Bang King Kong, because its potential forest rhythm requires eating three legendary fruits!
